South Lake Tahoe here and the wind is really blowing! Gusts easily over 60mph! Must be over 100mph on the mountain peaks around here. No snow because its 46 degrees! Not supposed to get below 36 tonight too! Power was out here for about 2 hours until 2:45pm. Hope it stays on, obviously. Hoedon!

Lived in Sacramento, CA, during this storm! It was wild! Wind was blowing so hard up the Sacramento River west of the Sac Int Airport that it was causing 4 to 6 foot waves to go up the river! Lots of damage to the levees. Sac Int Airport would have been completely underwater had any of the levees around it failed.

Additional rainfall amounts of a half inch to an inch and a half arepossible in this area.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause elevated levels onsmall creeks and streams... and ponding of water in urban areas...highways... streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainageareas and low lying spots.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated or pondingof water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.

Do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches ofrapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle.
